Sawmill Mountain, Mountain summit in Los Padres National Forest, California.
Sawmill Mountain rises to an elevation of 8,822 feet, marking the highest point in Kern County within the Chumash Wilderness area of California.
The mountain terrain has served as a natural boundary between Kern and Ventura counties, featuring geographical markers that define territorial divisions since California's establishment.
The surrounding wilderness holds significance for the Chumash people, who maintained connections to these lands through centuries of seasonal migrations and ceremonies.
Hikers access the summit via the Mount Pinos Trail, starting from Nordic Base parking lot, with a recommended water supply of two liters per person.
The summit provides views of the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, where California Condors soar above the protected wilderness stretching across multiple counties.
